Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

5th Helicopter Squadron stood up at JBA yesterday - its a pretty big deal to my AF helo colleagues in the office. Good looking patch. Its being advertised as a generational, revolutionary employment. The 25 or so UH-1N's are on a scramble alert posture (with a klaxon and everything) with timed aircrew runs from the alert shack to "cocked and loaded" aircraft where the right seater can crank up as soon as they are seated and the blade tie-down quick release pulled.

Is this possible with a Hawk? We'll see.

@hscs how quickly can you crank a aircraft from cold and dark?
